modifier+click broken if modifier used as layer about kanata

[jtroo]

I need a bit more detail to understand the problem.

lmet as layer toggle

What are the relevant defsrc and deflayer configurations?

It did not recognize anymore lmet+rightclick

I'm not sure what this means. Are you saying that you have some workflow that uses lmeta and right click at the same time which no longer works? Or that the lmeta and right click are both individually broken? Or maybe something else?

I tried adding mlft,mmid,mrght to defrc . It didn't work

The mouse buttons are special in kanata so this isn't expected to work.

this is a part of my file

(deflayer qwerty
  grv 1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    0    -    =    bspc  
  tab  q    w    e    r    t    y    u    i    o    p    [    ]    \
  caps a    s    d    f    g    h    j    k    l    ;    '    ret
  lsft z    x    c    v    b    n    m    ,    .    /    rsft
  lctl @winl lalt           spc            ralt rmet rctl
)
(deflayer win
  grv M-1   M- 2   M- 3   M- 4   M- 5    _    XX    @wk8    9    0    -    =    bspc
  tab  q    w    e    r    t    y    u    i    o    p    [    ]    \
  caps a    s    d    f    g    h    j    k    l    ;    '    ret
  lsft z    x    c    v    b    n    m    ,    .    /    rsft
  lctl lmet lalt           spc            ralt rmet rctl
)
(defalias
  winl (layer-toggle win)
)

if I hold lmet it will toggle win layer. Pressing lmet-right click will not work because my window manager will not recognize holding lmet as a modifier.
if I press lmet and 1, it is as if the layer toggle did not occur
If I press lmet and 6, it will print 6
if I press lmet and 7, no action

what I was trying to do is if mrgt is in defrc, I can do same as M-1 in place of the mrght (M-mrght)

I have found a workaround by assigning esc to lmet
eesc (tap-dance 200 (esc (one-shot 1000 lmet))) by using the new features :)

Hm it's not clear to me if there's a bug in how kanata handles this. I tried a minimally reproducible sample and it behaves as I expect:

(defsrc 1 lmet)

(deflayer base 1 (layer-toggle meta))

(deflayer meta M-tab 1)

Holding down lmeta and pressing 1 generates M-tab as expected.

If you'd like to debug this further, please try running kanata with the --debug flag and comment with the debug logs showing your original issue being reproduced. Otherwise feel free to close the bug if you don't think it's an issue.
